Be Still Child

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Be Still and let my words heal you,

Don’t talk, just listen please.

I formed you in your mother’s womb

And I can give you ease.

 

You run so fast, you cannot stop

Until, at last, you fall.

Why do you wait so long before

You answer when I call?

 

Listen to me, I’m telling you

That I am all you need.

Let go of all the ifs and buts.

Listen, my child, take heed.

 

This world is not an easy place,

But you still have a choice.

Go on as if you are in charge,

Or listen to my voice.

 

Be still and rest within the peace

That I have formed for you.

Be still and listen to my voice,

As I’ve asked you to do.

 

I hold all things within my hand

The heavens and earth, too,

And you, who are more precious yet,

Be still child, I’ve got you!

 

Isaiah 44:24

Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: “I am the Lord, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself
